Consett Cat Rescue
Rehoming Cats & Kittens: Co. Durham
GINGER
GINGER

A sweet 10 year old lady looking for a nice peaceful home with no nasty loud noises where she can chill the next 10+ years away. Although she can live with other cats, at her age she will find it hard to adjust to any change so she will do a lot better as an only cat where I think she will blossom.

General Wording covering all cats

The cat has been NEUTERED & MICROCHIPPED. (Vaccines are pending)
It has been regularly treated for fleas and worms.
It is litter trained
It is a HOUSE CAT. However we agree cats can be allowed into a catio (best option) or a cat proofed garden (2nd best option) or allowed out supervised on a SECURE cat harness. Cats cannot open windows or locked doors so there is no excuse for not being able to keep them in.
Our cats have not usually been tested with dogs. But if they have it will be written in the specific description above.
Most of our cats can live with other cats but it will state in the specific description above if they cannot.
Most of our cats are unsuitable for households with small children, that’s any child not capable of closing a door behind them as they go in and out of the house. Our cats mainly come from feral backgrounds and if they get out you may not get them back. Children brought up to respect animals and have compassion for them will fare much better with our cats.
A quieter home is preferred again due to the background of our cats. Having put in the effort to take these cats and get them used to people, loud noises, busy homes can be too much for them. Yes in time they will be even tamer but that’s not from day one so consider this when enquiring.
A non-smoking home is preferred (cats can get cancer from smoking too).
All our cats come with 4 weeks free Petplan cat insurance and therefore has been health checked by our vets.
Any known health issues are fully disclosed to owners along with a copy of the vet records.
Every cat has its own story and if we know it, we can tell you warts and all. 

We ask that people donate a minimum £125 for all our adoptions. This goes towards some of the costs we have incurred in providing the basics for each cat. All cats inevitably cost us much more than this basic amount.

In the current economic crisis, we ask people to make sure they can afford a cat and will be able to manage ongoing expenses and vet bills AND have provision for any emergency care etc. Please think very carefully and ask yourself if you can really afford to take on a luxury such as a pet at this time. They are a long term commitment. A common reason for people giving up their pets is lack of money.

We ask people look at the age of the cat and that the human should preferably outlive the cat. There is nothing more distressing than an animal having to be rehomed after it has been settled for years with its owners. A cat can live 15-20 years and maybe longer. A common reason for people giving up their cats is owners dying or going into a care home.

If you are interested in meeting any of our cats then as they are in foster care in private homes, it is by appointment only. You will need to read an information sheet and complete a questionnaire before being allowed to visit. This saves us time asking many questions as they are all on the questionnaire. Email or message us to ask for those documents. Should a visit be successful, we will ALWAYS deliver the cat to its new home to ensure we do a home check.

We ask adopters to keep in regular contact with the rescue for the lifetime of the cat. We have a fantastic support network of people and are there for help and advice at all times.

We give you a 100% guarantee that the cat can always be returned if an adoption does not work out but this should not be a sole reason for adopting the cat, we would hope people expect to have the cat for life.
